Commissioned Mother’s Bracelet

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Mother’s Day is coming, so keep in mind that we do lots of custom pieces. This piece was commissioned for a grandmother, and it was fun to design. The giver of the gift had a neat idea to incorporate Christ in the bracelet. Here is a breakdown of what the birthstones mean (the clear ones are just space fillers).

Top Row: December/Blue Topaz, October/Rose Zircon, December/Blue Topaz (son and his family)

Middle Row: June/Moonstone, Purple (representing the royalty of Christ), May/Emerald (recipient and her husband)

Bottom Row: September/Sapphire, December/Blue Topaz, June/Moonstone, June/Moonstone, March/Aquamarine (daughter and her family)

We hope that the recipient loves her bracelet and enjoys showcasing her family every day.

We LOVE Springtime and Custom Pieces!!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

We were commissioned to create a “springy” bracelet for a giveaway for a church in Northern VA, and we just had to share it with you!!  It is so cute and definitely says “spring”. If you have anything special in mind, we would love to create something custom for you.

Purity Earrings, Bracelet and Necklace

Friday, April 16th, 2010

I was asked by my church to design some purity jewelry for an upcoming conference they have for teen girls and their mothers on Saturday, and of course, I was happy to do so! The Purity Bracelet is a staple in our collection, yet the Purity Earrings and Purity Necklace were specially designed for the conference.

Each part has special meaning … the pearls are white and symbolize the commitment to purity. The crystals are clear and symbolize clean living and allowing others to see Christ clearly in you. The sterling symbolizes that although the world can try to “tarnish” us, God can fully cleanse us and make us shine!!

The purity earrings are available for $10 a pair and are designed with Swarovski pearls, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver.

The dangle of the purity necklace is designed using sterling silver and Swarovski crystals and pearls.

The chain is sterling silver, and the necklace features a charm that says “purity”. This is available for $32.

Our purity bracelet is also designed with sterling and Swarovski with a “purity” charm, and it is specially priced at $22 for the conference.

Please email us if you are interested in purchasing one of the pieces in our purity collection. The designs are also available without charms if you so desire. Thanks again for stopping by!

Here is the happy recipient of her Christmas gift … it looks great on her!!

She wrote a sweet note, which said … “I got my necklace…I must say it is even prettier in person. I love it…now I just have to wait until Christmas to “open” it and be able to wear it. Keep up the great work…I may just have to come back for another piece. (I’ve already got my eye on another one.)”

 

 

Custom Mother’s Bracelets

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Mother’s bracelets can be a fun way to celebrate your family, and it is a way to carry them around with you daily.  These two mother’s bracelets were commissioned by a mother who was giving a bracelet to each of “Will”s grandmothers.  We used vintage beads and sterling silver to complete these keepsakes.

dsc04679.JPG Each grandmother received a special keepsake bracelet with her grandson’s name on it.

dsc04677.JPG One of the grandmothers enjoys yellow, so we designed a bracelet with bright lemons and subtle yellows so that she could enjoy the piece with many of her outfits.

dsc04678.JPG The other grandmother loves purple hues, so this bracelet had a variety of vintage beads in purple coupled with sterling silver.

Here at The Bauble Market we enjoy talking with our clients to grasp their ideas and bring them to fruition! If you have a special idea or design in mind, we would love to help you bring those concepts to life. Contact us today at (434)851-2224 or info@baublemarket.com.

12 Happy Bridesmaids!!

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Again, one of our favorite things to do here at The Bauble Market is to work with our clients to bring their ideas to life through jewelry. Recently a bride had twelve (yes, 12 … they were absolutely gorgeous as was the bride!) bridesmaids in her wedding, and she contacted us to create a special keepsake for each of them.  We had the privilege of coming up with 12 original bracelet with matching earring designs that reflected the uniqueness of each of the girls in the bridal party.  The bride was married in the fall, so we decided to add a small leaf charm to each of the bracelets so that the girls could remember the special day.

Here is an example of just one of the sets in pink and green (our favorite color combination here at The Bauble Market!!), but the sets were literally a rainbow of colors.  All of the sets were made with vintage beads and sterling silver.

 

If you have the need for any special gifts, please feel free to contact us so that we can come up with something unique for you!  Also, note that the earrings are clips … any of our earrings can be converted to clip earrings, just ask! Thank you again for stopping by The Bauble Market.
